  iReport is a self-reporting media resource hosted by CNN.

  The 'article' linked above is written by "unclaimed" and is "NOT VETTED BY CNN". As such, it's essentially an anonymous blog post.

  Unlike the anonymous JW report that was not approved by CNN, the following were not posted anonymously, were posted earlier (except for 1), and were confirmed as legitimate by CNN:

  @JW Gonebad are you serious? do you think the ceo's , project managers and FTE's dont get salaries,.. do you think their offices come for free? Get real . Here in the netherlands it is crystal clear how much money is flowing away on salary costs, offices , fundraising and other things. And the philipines is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. The Red Cross cant do any thing about that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_the_Philippines

  I agree with you. You make a fine point, but the GB are no different to me emeth, can you understand my perspective? Love Kate xx

  @Kate the GB members nor any of the more than 20,000 JW FTE's dont take any salary home. If they would have done so the costs for that alone would be in a range of 40,000,000 - 50,000,000 a month

  There is no way of confirming the anonymous unofficial report at all, and it was not confirmed by CNN. The anonymous claim that the photo depicts doctors, or that they are 'Watchtower doctors', or that the photo actually relates to relief efforts, is not a 'fact'.

  It seems more likely that it was an effort by an over-zealous JW in response to the legitimate aid agencies confirmed by CNNN indicated in the links I added in my previous post.

  Even if they're actually doctors, there's still no indication at all that they are officially representing Watchtower.

  We have another clone of SPFW here?

  Back to the topic: I chose Red Cross and another long-time registered good-reputation charity organization . And NONE to the WBTS. They have billions of dollars at their disposal! They keep fleecing the flock and won't shell out anything from their very own pockets (I mean the Faithful and VERY discreet GB). How convenient.

  More like the WT reporters are the "spin doctors" reporting false stories. Dec 2013 Awake. should we trust everything in the media, same goes for WT reports.

  A post from an occasional poster.

  My ex-wife is a filipina, back in the Philippines right now but luckily, I think, out of the main path of destruction.

  I have many Filipina/o friends from my time in Cyprus. Some are back in the Phils, many have friends and family whose lives (crap as they were) have been destroyed.

  WTBTS/GB? A bunch of fat useless bastards who - to me at least - sit rubbing their hands while they could send a fortune to help.

  Damn them to hell (if you believe in it) I say.

  The next dub to come to my door will have some hard questions.

  I was at the meetng last night and there was something really pissed me off, and its an ongoing thing--the brother stood to the platform to pray a d asked for Jehovahs Holy Spirit to be with the brothers and sisters in the phillipines....catch that? Happens allthe time..what about the other individuals whos lives are taken, or the homes destroyed, or how about all the children who arent JW whos lives are completwly destroyed? Christ specifically said that you should pray for all people...not just love the o es who love you back. Its a true mark of false religion to me--pray for our own, who cares about the others...selfish.

  ok i vented thanks...woof
